SteveHB Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 And for those of you with a black sense of humour! Hanging Harry is a macabre light pull, perfect for the bathroom . Hanging Harry comes with 2m of rope which is designed to replace the pull cord on standard light fittings. Instead of boring plastic toggle, to turn on the light take a firm grip on Hanging Harry's lifeless silicone body and give him a good yank!!! He won't mind - he's already dead! Hanging Harry is definately different, morbid, and funny - all at the same time! You can guarantee Harry will be a novel talking point amongst your guests, with plenty of shock value! he he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
